About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of being a mentor to children instead of a traditional teacher, emphasizing the importance of fostering curiosity and a love for learning.

Attend the Circle with Sarah Online Retreat on August 7-8 , and Sarah will help you become the peace-filled, joyful mom you’re called to be. What would happen if you decided to be your child's mentor rather than their teacher? What if you awakened their wonder and curiosity so that they became the kind of people who thirst for knowledge and understanding? Today, I’m revisiting a conversation about those very questions that I had a few years ago with Sally Clarkson. I’m lucky to count Sally as a dear friend and I know that her work has been transformational for me and for so many of you. In this episode, Sally shares how we can inspire our kids to become lifelong readers and learners right in our own homes.
